I'm confused - and I'll admit that it's been a while since I've been a sys ad. Httpd runs in user space, right? So why am I not seeing system processes at the top of top? Or am I reading this incorrectly? What more can I be looking at to see what in system space is eating the system?
The default behavior of top is to sort in descending order by %CPU usage. Run top and hit the ? for more info... and a 2nd ? for even more info. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
